Tumblers

A tumbler does not break from a defect, it breaks because it works. It falls off the tray, knocks against the rack, chips on the edge of the sink. Nobody counts it at the time of buying, yet it is the cost that keeps coming back: a venue that serves every night reorders the same line two or three times a year.

So the right question is not which glass looks best, but which one will still be in the catalogue in eight months. Replacing 6 glasses from a line that is still available is a small reorder. Replacing a discontinued one means changing the whole set, so you do not serve two shapes at the same table.

Below 350ml the ice does not fit, and without enough ice the drink waters down sooner rather than later. It is the most common mistake when buying by eye from the photo.

Often true, and worth saying. Service lines are category standards, and the same glassworks makes them for everyone. What changes the sum is the pack size. The same line in a case of 12 costs less per glass than in a pack of 4. If you need a full set, look at the number of glasses before the price.

The other thing that changes is the glass. Tempered glass handles the temperature swings of the rack, and when it fails it breaks into small fragments rather than shards. On a glass that goes through four wash cycles a day, that is not a line on a price list: it is how often you buy it again.

The stock shown on the product page is what is in the warehouse, and you see it before you order. If the line you need is out of stock, message us on WhatsApp: we will tell you which other line has the same capacity and pack size, so your set stays matched.

For spirit-led cocktails served short there are Old Fashioned glasses, for drinks served without ice there are coupes, and for the aperitivo there are stemmed glasses. Where glass is a risk there are unbreakable Rock glasses.
